| Research Abstract |
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) ORF49 gene encodes the tegument protein in VZ virion and is one of the determinants of the VZV cell tropism in vitro. In this study, it has been identified that ORF49 protein interacts with ORF44 protein, which is essential for the lytic infection of the virus, and functions in the proper transportation of ORF44 protein to the place in which the virion maturation has occurred.
